Howie Roseman can’t ignore the cost of this backfiring Eagles signing

By typical NFL standards, the Philadelphia Eagles played 2025 free agency about as close to the vest as it gets.

Aside from All-Pro linebacker Zack Baun, they let their top pending free agents — like Milton Williams and Josh Sweat — walk for lucrative contracts elsewhere. They then doubled down on their cautious approach by signing a bunch of second-tier free agents, like Azeez Ojulari and Adoree’ Jackson, on cheap, one-year deals.

True to form, general manager Howie Roseman and the Eagles committed the majority of their offseason spending to extensions, rather than new contracts.
